FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The New Balance CT302 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the midsole adhesive. Always hand-clean with appropriate materials.
Is the material waterproof?
The suede is not waterproof. Using a water-repellent spray can offer light protection, but they are not intended for wet weather.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from premium suede, complemented by the rubber outsole.
Does the wavy outsole provide extra height?
Yes, the stacked midsole design inherently adds extra height compared to a standard, non-platform trainer.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the suede
Use a dry suede eraser to gently rub the affected area until the mark lifts.
Dirt stuck in the outsole waves
Use a soft-bristled brush to dislodge debris from the textured rubber traction pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance CT302 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing the shoes for the first time to repel light moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a professional-grade suede cleaner, being careful not to soak the material.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the beige color from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual wear, including jeans, chinos, or relaxed-fit joggers, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
